SLOCs/children/pets/imaginary friends: Married with 17 year old son and a pet cat.

Favourite and least favourite books: I've only read about ten, all set in Austria. Jo Of... is very vivid, I think and Exile very sad. Rivals works well. I don't have a least favourite, though I prefer books with a distinct theme/plot (however much the text wanders from it at times) to something like Exploits which was full of fun bits barely related to each other.

How you got into the Chalet School: An adult female friend of mine decided to recollect the set. This intrigued me. she told me to read Exile.
